Suede's arrival in British music in the 1990s was a phenomenon. Fated as 'The Best New Band in Britain' before they had even released a single, their debut album was the biggest selling for a generation and their emergence and dominance heralded Britpop. Made with full access to the band and their unexpurgated, incredible archive, Suede: The Insatiable Ones is documentary-feature that tells their story with brutal honesty, humour and dignity. Pulling no punches, the film eschews a linear form for a themed journey through Suede's intense career, and its creative and personal highs and lows. Through five chapters it explores: their roots and identity; the rush of success and immediate, infamous internal power struggle and schism, which few thought they could survive; the subsequent commercial apogee and significant international success; the resultant excess and substance abuse; their 'slow painful death' and split; and - ultimately - their recent, brilliant, acclaimed artistic rebirth. Frontman Brett Anderson and the band are joined by a wonderful cast that includes founder member of Suede and Elastica, Justine Frischmann, Suede's early manager Ricky Gervais, early Suede drummer and ex-Smith Mike Joyce, alongside friends, family and collaborators including Richard Osman, iconic designer Peter Saville, and others.
With no immediate family to live for, Joseph is haunted by a past he has tried, for decades, to forget - if not actively obscure with drink and drugs. Suffering the hangover from hell - the dry spell over - he walks away from his present life and boards a boat bound for Ireland to confront hazy, fear-inducing memories from a childhood spent in the care system that he's had to forget. Emotionally and physically wrecked, Joseph reunites with an incredulous Anna (Helen Behan, This is England '88 and '90), the sister he hasn't seen since childhood. Anna persuades her wary husband Michael (Frank Laverty; Michael Collins) to let Joseph stay and give him work in the family-owned building company. There, Joseph is forced to directly confront the demons of his past when he comes face to face with Craigy (Mark O'Halloran), a shadowy figure who is dogged by dark rumors, and who won't leave Joseph alone. Joseph's precarious family reunion is further complicated when he is immediately drawn to ...
Horace Vendig shows himself to the world as a rich philanthropist. In fact, the history of his rise from his unhappy broken home shows this to be far from the case. After being taken in by richer neighbors he started to exhibit an obsessive and selfish urge to make more and more money, loving and leaving women at will to further this end.

电影从主教练德鲁乔伊斯三世出场开始,他正在Salvation Army球馆打扫油污的地面,勒布朗、威利、锡安、小德鲁正在打得不亦乐乎,这是他们初次相识,当时他们自称阿克伦射手明星队。乔伊斯带着这支队伍一路杀到AAU全国锦标赛决赛,最终在奥兰多拿到了亚军,随后,这些孩子升到了St Vincent St Mary高中,乔伊斯也跟着这些孩子来到了这所高中任助教,再往后,他成了主教练。导演在影片中将乔伊斯教练作为了灵魂人物,他的智慧与谦逊永远都是贯穿始终的调子,其他许多教练都会把球队的成功作为自己执教生涯飞黄腾达的垫脚石,比如这所高中的前任主教练凯斯达姆布罗特就是如此,当他帮助球队成功之后,他就在球队第二年的时候前往阿克伦大学任职。而乔伊斯不同,他一直都致力于帮助这些孩子磨练自己的球技,并且塑造更正确的人格。
在影片中,乔伊斯主教练的故事是一部分,而其他的球员也都非常值得关注。我们会看到小德鲁乔伊斯如何在2000年州锦标赛中如何投中7个三分球,他是如何藉由自己仅仅4尺10寸的身高帮助球队拿到了队史上第一个州冠军。我们也会看到小乔伊斯面对老乔伊斯兼具父亲和教练双重角色的复杂的爱时是如何承受压力,而老乔伊斯也在这种过程中产生了自我怀疑。而威利的哥哥则是后来开始像父亲一样照顾着他,而锡安则是在征途中寻找着自己作为本地体育传奇人物之子的自我定位。而在随后加入球队的罗密欧特拉维斯的身上,我们则是看到了非常普遍的新人如何在团队中找到自己位置的故事,他非常想要融入,但是事实上并不那么容易。
最终,勒布朗成为了全国闻名的巨星,赞誉与新的挑战者接踵而至。
如果换一个导演,这个故事或许就成了勒布朗的传记片,可能会充溢着华美的言辞。但是在导演贝尔曼的手中,这就像一个大家庭的故事,有关五个男孩如何成为兄弟,有关一个父亲如何引导他们。这部电影或许会让一些想要执教年轻运动员的人明白,这不是为了找到下一个勒布朗詹姆斯,这是为了引导年轻人成为更加具有自控力的成年人。
